And don't forget Bill met with Trump personally to encourage him to enter the race as a Republican.
The Clintons always cover all their bases. ( don't forget they had Perot's 3rd party help to get into office the first time) Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Democratic_Party_superdelegates,_2016

Two words, bud: CITATION NEEDED.
That's a myth. In 1992, Bill Clinton was the beneficiary of a lackluster unpopular incumbent. Perot was not the deciding factor. Perot won zero electoral votes and there are no examples of states that would have flipped over to George Bush had Perot not been in the race. Sure, he won a lot of popular votes (19%) but was a non-factor with how the electoral college turned out.
1996 was a gimme. Dole/Kemp...even Dukakis/Bentsen could have beat that ticket.
2008 we endured the constant drumbeat of the inevitable Hildebeast. But she got her head handed to her by a community organizer out of Chicago. Clintons didn't have their bases covered then.
Now in 2016, the Hildebeast is getting spanked by a rumpled old socialist out of Vermont. Doesn't sound like all the bases got covered this time around either. She's getting clobbered in many states by embarrassing and humiliating margins. If she doesn't pull out New York next week, then like in 2008, the much ballyhooed "super delegates" that everybody is counting in her column are going to start getting cold feet.
There is no "Clinton machine", if there ever was one. Both Bill and Shrillary are washed up and even many Democrats are fed up with them. The fact that 82% of the under 30 year-olds voted against her last week in Wisconsin is pretty damning.
